Now, I will admit I was VERY unsure if I wanted to bother as Suda 51 is not the best name to trust in videogames in my opinion...personally No More Heroes was a few okay ideas with an interesting look and play style that got destroyed but too many bad design choices and unwanted play mechanics.

Anyway, my stance altered a bit when I became friends with someone from a new job a few years back. We became pretty damn good friends and suddenly I found myself being urged to buy an Xbox Live membership to play stuff online with him. I was still hesitant, but Resident Evil 5 hit around this time and suddenly Microsoft found themselves with some more of my money on a yearly basis from then on out.

I have been a gamer for most of my life now, actually I can't help but smile when thinking of this fact because of all the toys I played with video games are the only ones I can still do so...well, at least without getting strange looks from other people. I guess I could still play with my G.I. Joe collection on the stairs like I used to, or go on the back porch and play with my transformers like before, however it seems to get away with that one has to be rich enough to tip the scale of judgement from mentally unstable to eccentric.

My friend and i played nothing else for over a month solid, we just kept replaying it and trying different difficulty levels and kept going for higher scores...sheesh, even after eventually selling it off i've owned it 3 more times! (it came with the red 360, eventually traded that copy and bough it used when the DLC came out, eventually traded it and then saw it cheap last month and bought it again...I may have a problem...)
